shock! I became the savior of the infinite game at full level

Chapter 342 The decisive battle at the top of Cloud City (14)

Yun Lan Xiaying squatted on the ground in an inconspicuous manner and handed the two sesame seed cakes in her hand to the little beggar in front of her.

The little beggar looked to be no more than ten years old, with unkempt hair and ragged clothes.

He was obviously very hungry. He tore off half a piece of sesame seed cake and stuffed it into his mouth. He looked like he was gobbling it down... as if he would starve to death if he waited any longer.

Chi Yu stepped closer.

"Slow down, slow down." Yunlan Xiaying quickly reminded, "Don't choke, I don't have any water here."

"Um..."

The little beggar nodded randomly, but his chewing movements didn't stop at all.

Yunlan Xiaying smiled: "If it's not enough to eat, I have more here..."

"Yunlan." Chi Yu stopped beside her, "Why did you come here?"

Yun Lanxiaying jumped up with an "ah" sound, and then she remembered... She had promised Chi Yu before that she would "be back in five minutes at most"!

She apologized hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to the time."

Chi Yu shook his head and said it didn't matter, then turned to look at the little beggar: "This is..."

Yunlan Xiaying immediately explained: "I just saw him begging when I was buying dried fruits, because he was so pitiful, so..."

Her tone was a little sad, "I heard from the vendor selling sesame cakes that he fled from other places and was seriously injured on the way, losing one of his legs..."

"Those refugees couldn't even afford food, let alone money for medical treatment. So he was thrown into this neighborhood by other refugees, with the intention of letting him fend for himself. Unexpectedly, he survived. …”

While he was talking, the little beggar had already finished two whole pieces of sesame seed cakes, and wiped his mouth with his hands as he was still not satisfied.

He swallowed and spoke carefully: "Two, two benefactors..."

The little beggar became even more nervous when he saw two beautiful, well-dressed women turning their heads to look at him at the same time.

He grasped the lapel of his clothes: "I, I know this request is a bit excessive, but...but I also have a companion, who is younger than me and is about to starve to death..."

"Can you, can you give me another pancake... If he has something to eat, he can at least survive these two days..."

"Xiao Yao and I will never forget your great kindness! If I can survive, I will definitely find a way to repay you..."

Yun Lan Xiaying couldn't bear to look away and secretly glanced at Chi Yu behind her, as if asking for her opinion.

The little beggar was keenly aware of this and realized that the person standing next to him was the real owner, so he immediately raised his head and looked up, with a pair of dark eyes full of pleading.

Chi Yu sighed in his heart: "Wait here for a while."

"Thank you, thank you benefactor!"

Chi Yu turned slightly to avoid the beggar's kneeling, and walked towards the stall selling sesame cakes opposite.

I asked the stall owner for a dozen sesame seed cakes, and when he was about to pay, the vendor, who looked to be in his early thirties, said casually: "Are you foreigners?"

Chi Yu raised his eyes when he heard the words: "...What do you say?"

"Yunzhou is considered to be the border of Jingguo. It is close to the wilderness. It rained heavily in the past two days and several surrounding villages were flooded. So, it seems like..."

The stall owner raised his chin in the direction of the little beggar and said, "Well, there are thousands of refugees like him, not to mention tens of thousands."

"The locals have long been accustomed to this, so you outsiders are the only ones who can feel some compassion and want to help."

The stall owner shook his head helplessly, "But what's the use of helping one or two people just once or twice?"

Chi Yu took the sesame seed cakes from the stall owner: "He can only beg because he is young and has an injured leg. Other refugees have hands and feet... they won't be reduced to this, right?"

"Are you from the capital?" The stall owner narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Chi Yu heard a faint sarcasm in his tone.

She wasn't angry either: "Why do you say that?"

"The places where you live may be able to accommodate the refugees, but Yunzhou cannot." The stall owner said, "Even people like us can only make ends meet on weekdays. How can we do anything for the refugees?"

"Even if there were, we wouldn't be able to pay wages."

"Even if we can get a minimum wage, Yunzhou only produces so little food every year, and it's all eaten by the refugees. What will we eat?"

Chi Yu was silent for a moment: "Then let these thousands of refugees starve to death?"

"What else can we do?"

"Doesn't the government care?"

"Government?" the stall owner said with a smile, "How about you say you are a young lady from the capital."

"Who among those people in the government only care about themselves? How can they have time to care about the lives of ordinary people like us?"

Chi Yu was not surprised by this answer.

but……

"What about... Mr. Lin An?"

She asked again, "You all admire him so much, isn't it because he can bring a better life to Jingguo and the people of Jingguo?"

"Master Lin..."

The stall owner's expression was dazed for a moment.

But the next second, his tone became firm again: "Master Lin is different."

"He really wants to save Jingguo and really wants to help us. But in today's world... there is only a limit to what he can do."

"No matter how corrupt Jingguo is now, we always believe that... Mr. Lin will definitely give us a bright future in the near future."

"There is no doubt...he is our savior in Jingguo."

……

Chi Yu led the white horse and walked silently on the broad street.

The words of the sesame cake stall owner kept echoing in her mind.

Suddenly, she remembered the "task description" given by the system.

——The people's will is what the destiny is.

It turns out... this is the blessing given by heaven to the "son of destiny".

but……

Are the actions of Lin An and his party really worthy of such pure "popular sentiment"?

He was in Yunzhou, but he didn't care about the life or death of thousands of refugees. Do you really have no energy, or have you never cared about these insignificant "little people"?

"Relaxation..."

Yun Lanxiaying's voice came from behind, "Are we leaving like this?"

"Otherwise?" Chi Yu said softly, "We gave him food and hired a doctor to treat him. We have done everything that needs to be done... We have no time or ability to take care of the rest. "

"I know you want to give him some silver, but have you ever thought... that a common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade?"

"I understand..." Yun Lanxiaying said dullly, "I just can't bear it."

Chi Yu didn't reply.

After walking out of the city gate, she stopped and got on her horse.

Turning her head and looking back, through the city gate which was slightly narrow compared to the entire field of view, she saw the people walking through the market, their shabby clothes, shriveled faces, and their faces. Numb, empty expression.

Chi Yu pulled the reins and said to his companion who looked up, "Let's go."
